The World is Big Enough for Two Bile Bombs

Flounder

<div class="IPBDescription">allow the ability on both the lerk and the gorge</div>I feel that the lerk bile bomb ability is so drastically different from the gorge's that you could easily allow both in the game. Gorge bile bomb range and damage did need a nerf, but the lerk bomb is just too weak to counter arcs and turret farms the way a good old fashioned gorge bile bomb does.

I suppose they can't both have the same name in the game though. Maybe lerks could have <i>bile poop</i>?

i don't see why not. +1

They said the Lerk bile bomb was accidentally nerfed in damage in this patch, so I would wait with this suggestions until they fixed it.

If it still sucks, then why not. (though I think UWE tries to avoid redundancy)

Same stance for now, but it does look bad with more abilities overlapping on Gorge (Mini-Cyst, then Bile Bomb...)

We need to wait to see all the new gorge abilities that are coming IMO

Agreed, apparently the gorge will be getting 3 or 4 (forget which number now) new abilities, can't wait to find out what they are.. and also can't wait to start putting up some goowalls :D

I think it's bad for the game to homogenize the lifeforms like this. If both lerks and gorges can use bilebomb, and the game is balanced around that, then it's a missed opportunity for one of those classes to have <i>something else</i>.

Lifeforms need to be kept distinct, lets wait until UWE come up with a replacement ability.
